Home-made turkey, ham and mushroom pie (flaky top) - the sauce within made from the turkey drippings, a little garlic, white wine and cream and a thickening agent.. so good.

In between periods of the World Junior iced hockey bronze medal round, and between that and the gold medal game at 8:30, I'm assembling spaghetti and meatballs. 2nd period of the bronze game, Russia v Finland is just about to start. After 20 min it's 1 - 0 Russia.
Finland wins 4-1.
Finland wins 4-1.

Our post Christmas croissants stuffed with cream cheese and smoked salmon and a few salt and pepper (Jane's) chicken wings, washed down with sparkling pear lemonade.

Hmmmm, that's not quite a true Rueben sandwich.
Yes, you got the rye, sauerkraut, Russian dressing <?> and corned beef or pastrami correct but you didn't grill the completed sandwich in the frying pan on both sides until the bread was toasty. I've had Rueben's at the original deli that made the first sandwich and that is how it is done. The delis that now serve it open faced are not true to the original sandwich.

Re: Teatime Choices
Actually, I did. I always spread margarine on both sides and finish it in the skillet so the bread is toasty and the cheese gets melty. I don't use Russian Dressing, but I'd be willing to try it sometime. I use corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss, and mustard. I may not have had one at the original deli, but I've had a lot of Reuben sandwiches.

Re: Teatime Choices
I've no doubt you've made a similar dressing to 'russian dressing' many times. Onion, horseradish, hot sauce, worcestorshire sauce, lemon juice, tom k and mayo, salt/pepper are the basis for russian dressing.. apparently it used to have caviar in it too (pounded anchovy's might work!) It's not that different to the sauce I make to go with seafood or avocado.

Corned beef and cabbage done in the slow cooker. Butter on the cabbage and onions, Dijon mustard for the corned beef... I'm very content right now.
